  1. 1) What causes the Moon’s Phases?2) What are Eclipses? Chapter 6 Lesson 4 Phases and Eclipses

  2. The Moon, as Shakespeare suggests in Romeo and Juliet, is fickle. Its complex orbit moves it swiftly across a wide tract of the night and day skies, changing its appearance continually in both bold and subtle ways. O swear not by the moon, th'in constant moon That monthly changes in her circled orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.

  3. Phases of the Moon • Only 1 side of the moon faces Earth • The far side always faces away from Earth • Moon has a rotation and revolution, just like Earth • 1 day on the moon = 1 month on the Earth

  4. The Moon’s Motion Where would the moon's face appear in each view in this diagram that shows the moon's rotation and revolution?
